Design of Instruments I (FSI-TK1)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Radim Chmelík, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic properties of optical materials from the optics point of view, processes taking place at the interface of the optically isotropic environments, and properties of real optical components and their combination. Students will be able to apply this basic knowledge of geometrical optics in design and construction of optical systems.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will be made familiar with concrete optical components, with their mounting in the mechanical parts. They will be made familiar also with the specific optical devices and with their design and mounting. They will gain the fundamental overview of the field.
Prerequisites:
Refractive index, Snell's law, dispersion, light refraction in plan-parallel plate, Gaussian space, graphic determination of the image position, lens maker’s equation (Newton, Gauss, Gullstrand), spherical faces, lenses, Fresnel equations for refraction, mirrors, aberrations of optical systems.
Course contents:
The course introduces students to the design of basic optical systems and devices so that they will be able to design elementary instruments.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Active participation in seminars and three written tests.
Exam: written.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at practicals is obligatory. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher depending on the length of absence.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
    Computer-assisted exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
